Mars opposite Saturn-Neptune, 5-10 August 2025

This month's most difficult transit, the opposition between Mars & Saturn-Neptune, is already active. It will be exact on the 9th.

Mars opposite Saturn feels like a need for speed with the brakes on, as if an authority figure's influence is holding back our need for independence and criticising our progress. Conversely, if we've been navigating life with a Martian reckless, reactive and ambitious teenage behaviour, it's time we applied some Saturnian structure, discipline and maturity. ⛓️‍💥

Mars opposite Neptune feels like an urgent need to walk away from disappointing situations that keep repeating due to our own blind-eyed illusions and fantasies, which are now shattered. This is a rude wake-up call. 👁️

Mars in Libra and Saturn-Neptune in Aries are in "fall" in those signs, meaning they're not comfortable and do not know how to properly express themselves.

With the full moon building up at the same time and Mercury still retrograde, we can expect disruptive, reactive, fiery and chaotic energy. The 9th is a day prone to accidents of all kinds, so please be extra careful. If anger arises, it's because it's past its due time to be released, so allow it. Avoid projecting your miscontent, frustration and impatience onto others. 🔥

Collectively, the world stage may heat up and people's tempers might flare due to the urgent need to break away from strict and authoritarian systems, which could lead to revolts and protests on the 9th-10th, the same days as the full Moon in Aquarius, the sign of revolution.

Amid all this chaos, there is a grand Air trine between Mars, Pluto and Uranus, as well as a sextile between Saturn-Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. This is a divine reordering backed by heavenly support and influence. What is meant to happen, will happen. The effects and outcomes are beneficial for both the collective and the individual.

A few days later, on the 13th, Venus and Jupiter will align with the star Sirius in Cancer, tempering down and bringing back harmony to these last days' chaotic waves. 💖
